At the last regular Otero County Commission, a petition and suggested language for a county ordinance was submitted by yours truly. In light of the revelations concerning cooked climate change numbers and the impact it has on "science" used by the agencies in various agreements with the county, citizens felt it prudent to take this action. If you want to read the suggested language, please contact ORF and we will get it to you.
